Special Interest Groups

Listed below are the BGS Special Interest Groups.



Forage Legumes Group
The BGS Forage Legumes Group was reborn out of the Quality Forage for Ruminants Conference held at the Royal Agricultural College in March of 1997. It is a broad-based organisation with members from the academic, research, commercial, and farming sectors. The group uses farm visits, meetings and in house publications to inform its members of best management practices, novel crops, and issues related to the production of forage legumes. Through its membership fee (£20 annually) the Group helps to fund several research projects, and pays for the cost of its publications. Further details can be obtained from the Convener, Gerry Lane at the Royal Agricultural College (gerry.lane@rac.ac.uk). http://www.rac.ac.uk/flg/default.html
